King Kevin Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Can he play midfield ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Interesting one. I can remember one of either Mel/Sam Rush (pretty sure it was Mel) mentioning Iceland as a place our scouts were looking at, due to the ratio of players produced when compared with their population size. If anyone remembers this more clearly or has a link to where he said it, please feel free to help me out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramit Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Born June 30 2000, Ísak played his first season for the senior side of Keflavík this summer and did very well. Central midfield or defensive midfield is where he enjoys to play but he's also a capable central defender. Having an Icelander at the club would be fantastic in my biased opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it has to do with Icelandic kids having fully qualified coaches from the age of 4, or that there are close to 900 UEFA licensed coaches there, which per capita is 10 times more than England has, or maybe it's the fact that the national squad has qualified for two major tournaments in a row and perhaps it has something to do with knowing that when clubs sign an Icelandic player they get a no nonsense determined mentally strong hard worker. Nah, you're probably right, it's because of Eiður Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I remember a similar sort of thing when australia didn't just qualify, they got to the quarters. Australia was the new pool. Then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you're probably right, it's because of Eiður It sounds good to me. Always a chance to get to the top with a small population. Although the top players will have to find other countries to play in because we all know you can only play Ice hockey on ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
